Low light levels in restaurants -- or full light -- when you have the choice, what do you choose? And Why?

Question

In low light my daughter loses her hunger.

In low light I'm feeling the need to look over my shoulder into the shadows for my own safety.

In dimly lit businesses and restaurants I feel uncomfortable and can't wait to leave.

In full light my mood is more carefree and I feel safe.

In full light I am more pleased with my food, and with eating in general

In full light I am more inclined to take my time, and more likely to return to the restaurant, and to tip larger.

Answer 3

Low light, but not so low that you can't really see whats on your plate or in your surroundings. I think its just part of the whole going out for dinner thing, nice food, good company, clean restuarant and lowish lights, Oh, and a good bottle of wine.....

Cheers!

Answer 4

Full light if I'm having a meal by myself so I can read. Otherwise, low to medium light for ambiance. It is important that I'm able to read my menu and see my food though.

Answer 5

I use to like low light.  Now I like enough light to see whats in my food and how clean the environment is.  

Some places are not very clean.
